Dermatology Eponyms – sign – Lexicon (T). Part 2

Abstract

Hyperostosis occuring in the midline of the hard palate (Fig. 1), called torus palatinus or hyperostosis located on the lingual aspect of the mandible, termed torus mandibularis [1]. TRAMP STAMP SIGN Tattoos on women that are not religious or ceremonially required for their culture. Often on the lower back area; they were originally used to signify a life of prostitution. This practice continues today but sometimes these tattoos are now seen in the non-prostitute population, as sign of admiration for the romanticized prostitution lifestyle which is linked to drug abuse, physical violence, and sexually transmitted diseases. The origin of the term dates from the 17 th century Yakuza practice of tattooing prostitutes on the back. Prostitutes in the Edo period, called 'Yujo' tattooed themselves with the name of their regular customer as a sign of their loyalty. This tattoo is referred to as 'Irezumiko', which starts with the customer's name and ends with the kanji character 命 (inochi), which means life, so this tattoo means "I give my life to 'name'." TOY SOLDIER SIGN Linear aggregation of neoplastic lymphocytes along the dermal-epidermal junction seen in histopathology of mycosis fungoides (Fig. 2) [2].
